Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Density of cobalt = 8.9gcm⁻³

Mass of cobalt = 17.8g

Solution

Density can be defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance:

Density =
(mass in g)/(volume in cm^(3) )

The unknown in the problem is Volume:

Volume =
(mass)/(Density)

Volume =
(17.8)/(8.9) = 2cm³
